Writing romantic fiction is all about the characters and their journey to that elusive HEA. Before you put pen to paper (or keys to laptop), you should know your characters inside out. Let them talk to you in your head, get to know them as friends. Know what motivates them. Understanding your characters and where they come from will help you write their journey to where you want them to go.
For me the plot is almost secondary, and falls out of the relationship between the leads. I often think I'm mad as I listen to the voices in my head, but it helps me to write.

You have an amazing knack for story telling and your talent as an author is superior. Although many of the books in the Satan's Devils series can be read for free in Kindle, I bought them all to add to my library so I can reread it in the future. Do you have plans for another MC club? (Had to ask a question, mostly wanted to comment.)
